Video: Yelawolf Talks Skateboarding Vs. Music

If you read our special online cover story with Yelawolf, you probably learned a lot about the ups and downs of the Alabama MC's career up until this point. But one subject we didn't get to touch on is something he loves almost as much as music: skateboarding. Trust us, you will not be seeing any T-shirts that say "Yelawolf Can't Skate," because Catfish Billy is the real deal.

While taking a break from his photo shoot in the Lower East Side, Yela spoke to our camera about his skate style and explains how it influenced his music. As a bonus, he also gave us some exclusive access to his crazy live show at Irving Plaza. Watch the video above for a taste of our time with Yelawolf.
